In this final edition of What I'm Listening to This Week, I'm looking ahead and springing forward after being blessed with new music from Lady Gaga [1], Chiiild, and my Gen-Z queen, Sabrina Carpenter [2]. Here's what you should slam the play button on and why.
"Honeymoon Fades" by Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter strikes a-f*cking-gain, folks. Her vocals are as honey-dripped as ever on this new single, which was written as a love letter to her fans (including me!).
"Love Em Leave Em" by Amindi feat. Kari Faux
Whew, this song just hits, doesn't it? The bad b*tch anthem from reggae phenom Amindi might just be my Hot Girl Spring anthem (no idea if we're doing Hot Girl Spring as a family, but just in case).
"Stupid Love" by Lady Gaga
Which one you Little Monsters convinced Gaga into giving us more "rah-rah-ah-ah-ah" music? My sincerest thanks to you!
"California" by Kota the Friend
Brooklyn rapper Kota the Friend is a recent fave of mine [4], and his debut album, Foto [5], was one of the best of 2019 for me. His new single is, unsurprisingly, right up my alley.
Synthetic Soul EP by Chiiild
I've written here before [6] about Montreal's genre-bending band Chiiild, and their new EP is seven songs of perfection.
Standout track: "Pirouette"
Listen now on Spotify [7].
